I am Haley Green’s husband. I once heard of this word “sciatica.” I knew it meant back pain. Words like “death” also had remote meaning, until I’d experienced grief first hand. I’ve been dealing with severe back/leg pain for 18 months. I had surgery on my spine last year. Things seemed fine for a short time. Then, the pain came in a different form… An unreasonable, unrelenting stabbing, tearing, searing pain that never leaves. I became intimate with icepacks. I can sooo appreciate the fear, the anger… everything that you wrote. I deeply appreciate your honesty and courage. Though your article gave me new avenues to pursue, I found the simplest and most profound comfort, was simply reading my own experience through the words of another person. It reminded me that there is healing in company. Thank you, Soleil. May we all know deep healing and acceptance.

Your words touched me deeply. Not having been in that kind of “physical” pain, it brought me to a place of deeper empathy for my clients. Reading your story also brought sweet memories of our time together in PRYT and how deeply you touched my heart. You will never be alone S, you live in the hearts of so many, you are an angel sent from above to bring healing to this world and that can feel lonely at times, but you are never alone. You are loved, respected and an inspiration to anyone who has the privileged to meet you.. Thank you for sharing your pain with the world and letting us all know that we are not alone. Pain is inevitable, physical or emotional, how we choose to let it teach us is the question. You are a Warrior Goddess,a shining example, diving into the depths of yourself, into those scary places, not running and hiding,but continuously seeking the place of true healing. I send you so much love, light and healing. May your healing journey bring you to a more expansive place if that is even possible.
Much Love,
Roey

Thanks for so generously sharing your process. I deeply appreciate the clarity and courage of your sharing. You’ve inspired me with your spirit and with this healing information. One of my counselors shared this technique with me early in my healing journey – I didn’t understand it but my faith in her healing intent enabled me to let go of “trying to understand” and to simply enter the healing experience. It was beneficial. I celebrate the way you reach out using these digital tools to kindle more feeling.

Bless you,

Catherine
